Friday July 15. Full Moon at 2:40 AM at 22° Capricorn. See the Lunar Gestation Cycle page at Lunar-Shadows.com.
Since 4:29 PM Friday the Moon entered Aquarius. This Moon sign sees challenges between friends as Mercury and Uranus form a 135° cranky aspect. Equipment can be faulty. What you say could be misconstrued. Be a good listener without judgment. Respond don't react as the other side could reverse their position and you could be left out on a limb. Choose another day to move forward as Friday through Sunday are difficult ending with arguments and threats of loss to friendship and contracts.

Saturday July 16. Saturn rules Saturdays. The Aquarius Moon sign seems to be a trap for, he said she said. At the end of the sign the Moon runs into problems involving missing documents (Moon opposite Mercury) or you could be refused to pass through to the next stage due to technicalities. People scramble to find a safe base when all the points are perceived as trespassing. Good solid boundaries might be an anecdote. There is some comfort in light interaction during social settings but there could be uncomfortable moments. Three planetary aspects impact the day; Venus and Mars join in a parallel at 8:02 AM, with an all day influence, that allows partners to find solace in each other. 2:55 PM Venus is 135° Neptune for some shopping bliss that you may regret. Returns may not be an option. 9:08 PM Mercury and Pluto get tangled up in thick and heavy thoughts. There is a wise person that could help you get pass the toll gate temporarily. Feelings of being excluded might compromise an otherwise nice evening but take solace in the fact that you are not in the thick of the preverbal soup. It's a good movie night where you can let all this play out on the screen.

Sunday July 17. The Sun rules Sundays. The Aquarius Moon is headed for an opposition to Mercury at 8:23 AM that begins a voc Moon period all day. There is an exception which I will take with the Moon 150° Sun at 3:20 PM. This may be when the void Moon period actually begins. Use whatever comes up as a chance for damage control left from the influence of the recent Full Moon. This is similar to the insurance adjuster assessing damages.

Monday July 18. The Moon rules Mondays. The void Aquarius Moon period ends when the Moon enters Pisces on Monday at 1:12 AM. Relief from the recent intensity is found during the following couple of days. You have a solid Green Light to move forward all day Monday, through Tuesday and until 7:14 AM Wednesday morning. At 7:14 AM Wednesday is when the Pisces Moon forms a harmonious trine to the Sun bringing a sense of satisfaction and contentment and positive results all around. Often with a Sun - Moon trine there is a low action period as strong events wait for more dynamic energies. You may find yourself content to retreat in the Piscean style.

Tuesday July 19. Mars rules Tuesdays. Tuesday's Pisces Moon sees an opportunity for a short term investment when the Sun and Vesta (investments) find something worth further investigation. Mercury and Jupiter agree with a parallel and open doors and easily allow you to make the right connections. You may be in a position to help someone in a tight spot just by showing up.

Wednesday July 20. Mercury rules Wednesdays. The Pisces Moon continues to give a Green Light for your activities until the void Moon at 7:14 AM. The void period ends at 12:25 PM when the Moon enters Aries. This is not the Moon sign to leap into new things as the star of the show leaves. You may have your sights set on a quick turnaround but the plan changes for reasons out of your control. You may choose to work along but someone entices you to join their team. The problem is their team leader leaves for the big-time. Now you regret leaving your position in the first place.

Thursday July 21. Jupiter rules Thursdays. The Aries Moon adds oomph to your efforts. Stick with your plan and gain ground by plowing through a heavy task list. The needs of your children could be on your agenda. Their placement for the fall or how your situation changes. It could be that your pets need extra care. A solution could be found for something you are trying to preserve or purify. There is a spiritual link between you and the source that nurtures mental peace and harmony. This is a good day to for an expanded spiritual practice. Draw no agreements or signatures today. Aspects include; Venus 30° to Mars at 9:22 AM. Neptune parallel Ceres at 9:51 AM topics about disappearing or resurfacing of lost children. 8:53 PM Mercury contra Ceres. 9:33 PM Mercury contra parallel Neptune.

Friday July 22. Venus rules Fridays. Aries Moon with little planetary activity. There are changes ahead, some of which are a surprise. The day runs smoothly but avoid agreeing to anything just yet. (Wait until next Monday afternoon through Wednesday night. 7/25-7/27) Let all the players find their new positions before taking a stand. Use your ability to work well alone throughout the day. The evening has pleasant energies if you would like to head out on a singular adventure. You will enjoy the journey.

Saturday July 23. Saturday is ruled by Saturn.
The Sun enters Leo on Saturday July 23 at 12:11 AM which is when the Moon is void of course. The Moon enters Taurus at 12:57 AM ending the void Moon period. Aspects include Jupiter square Pallas Athena at 9:44 AM. You might find your thinking or advisor is off in the wrong direction. Family discussions are difficult at best.
